This DŌ is a definite do.

New Yorkers who want to eat their feelings about the inauguration — or winter in general — through next week need forage no farther than a cookie dough scoop shop opening in Greenwich Village on Wednesday.

The store at 550 La Guardia Place is the first brick-and-mortar location for the online company DŌ, which produces cookie dough you can safely eat unbaked. DŌ founder Kristen Tomlan makes her treat with pasteurized-egg product and heat-treated flour, ingredients that keep it bacteria-free. The entrepreneur used to sell and ship her cookie dough out of headquarters on 2nd Avenue in NoHo.

Flavors range from your standard chocolate chip to your exotic cinnamon & brown sugar pop-tart, and — because this is New York — there are gluten- and dairy-free options available.

Tomlan's new 15-seat shop with polka-dotted walls and bouquets a-plenty will serve dough in all different forms: scooped in cups and cones, sliced in ice-cream sandwiches, and folded into half-baked brownies, milkshakes and sundaes.

Coffee from Toby's Estate will be on the menu, too, Grub Street reported. 

And, according to the DŌ website, the shop will also offer classes from its "cookie school." (Which you might consider enrolling in — if can you control Cookie Monster impulses to eat everything sugary on sight.)
